Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.

But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.

The US says it will loosen sanctions on other countries buying Russian oil and petroleum loaded on vessels at sea, in a bid to curb price rises

The cost of oil rose to more than $100 a barrel yesterday

Russia continues to pound Ukrainian cities with drones on a daily/nightly basis

All MPs to be sent Secret Barrister book after campaign Mystery author’s surprise bestseller reveals ‘the reality of criminal justice at the coalface’

Many of the MPs who voted to remove juries and hand enormous power to magistrates to try serious criminal cases and imprison people for up to 2 years know about the problems.

Because they were all sent a copy of this damned book.

Including David Lammy.

OFFICIAL SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA
Dear Lord Mandelson,
Please find your letter of appointment attached. Please read this carefully and let
me know if you have any questions.
Please note that as this role requires DV+STRAP, a new STRAP application
form will need to be submitted as STRAP clearance is role specific.
International HR are now using a digital service, Manage Your Move, to help
officers to Move from the UK to Overseas, return from post to the UK and for
cross-postings. You will shortly be sent an email inviting you to use this service

So Peter Mandelson was appointed US ambassador before a request for STRAP vetting clearance (giving access to 'secret' official documents) had even been submitted. From the new cache of docs.

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

Reform UK on the war -

9 March, Robert Jenrick: ‘this war needs to come to an end as soon as possible….that’s why Nigel Farage immediately ruled out suggestions that UK might deploy boots on the ground. Nor do we see why British aircraft should become involved in offensive action.’ Daily Telegraph
